Fouad ElNaggar
Fouad is one of my favorite VCs, because he also starts companies. He’ll give it to you straight—don’t cry or get mad, thank him for it. And he rocks sweats more often than not – you have to love a VC who wears FUBU!

About Me
I’m an experienced technical product manager.
I like opportunities that established players should be jumping on, but are too scared to. Making the world better is a big bonus.
My product development philosophy:- build human products that solve real customer problems
- observe customers to inform product and business decisions
- iterate quickly
- make decisions based on data
- keep the product and team lean
- use the 80/20 rule
- launch sooner rather than later
I studied computer science and psychology, but I’ve been programming since I taught myself machine language on my Commodore 64.
